8.0.1 Ollie

Practicing stationary Ollie movements

In an ollie, we jump over the back leg and use the tail of the snowboard as a kind of spring. To jump an Ollie, you can imagine a kind of wave movement

In order to remain stable during the jump, we push our snowboard forward with our hips, which pushes the snowboard through and gives us energy for the Ollie. It is very important to pull the front foot up correctly.

When to do an ollie?

An ollie is actually suitable for almost every jump, even if you are jumping into boxes or want to jump into a tail press (nollie). For most people, an ollie while riding is almost easier than standing.

It's best to aim for the point you want to jump from in order to have a commitment for the Ollie at the corresponding point or try to jump over objects.

Are the Ollis already working?
